DUBAI, UAE – The Customs Intelligence Management within Dubai Customs has successfully thwarted two separate attempts to smuggle controlled drugs and restricted medications via air shipments into the country.
The total haul amounted to 171,600 pills and these operations underscore the department’s resolute stance against illicit activities.
In the first operation, a shipment consisting of three parcels concealed 96,600 pills of the controlled medication Cipralex, weighing 57 kg.
Simultaneously, the second operation revealed 75,000 capsules of the prohibited drug Pregabalin, weighing 64 kg and distributed across three parcels.
The emirate’s customs checkpoints have transformed into a strong bastion which is against all forms of contraband trafficking, and the distribution of controlled substances.
This feat stands as a testament to the adept utilisation of specialised systems and the competence of the human resources deployed in safeguarding Dubai’s customs checkpoints.
Dubai Customs has intensified its efforts in combating the trade of controlled substances, underlining its commitment to curbing such pernicious impacts on human health and society.
This achievement aligns with Dubai Customs’ unwavering dedication to safeguarding the economy through stringent measures.
